Conversion
Software
What the Conversion Software is:
The Conversion Software is a tool designed to allow
easy and direct transfer of pre-digitized embroidery
designs from the PC to the Quantum® XL-6000 Sewing
machine. Simply open the desired design from the Conversion
software and transmit it to the Quantum® XL-6000
machine. Nearly all popular embroidery formats are available
to allow to importing almost any design. Basic editing
functions are included, such as Clean Up, Center or
Change Color of a design.
What the Conversion Software is not:
The Conversion Software is not a program that allows
creating or digitizing original designs. Stitch placement
may not be altered in anyway. Stitches may not be moved,
added to or deleted. The design may not be resized.
Basically the design is exactly the way it appears on
the screen.
How Conversion Software Communicates with Quantum®
XL-6000:
The Conversion Software and the PC communicate with
the Quantum® XL-6000 through a special serial port
cable called a Null Modem Cable, (Singer Part # 270-10D1-20206
for 6-foot cable, Part # 270-10D1-20210 for 10-foot
cable). This special cable is a 9-pin cable with both
a male and female end, one for the PC and one for the
sewing machine. The wiring in a Null Modem cable is
configured in a way to allow communication to flow both
ways between the two devices, the PC and the machine.
A straight serial port cable will not allow the information
to flow back and forth. However, a Null Modem Adapter
may be added to a straight serial port cable, creating
the same effect.
